Tips for shooting Pileated Woodpeckers
Apr 26, 2016 21:11:53 #
I got this shot a couple months ago.
This male was using last year's Red-Bellied nest as a bachelor's pad and seemed quite skittish ! ( tho I was wearing no camo but using my car as a blind.
Presently, a Wood Duck is using this cavity ! - hope to get some kind of shots from this.
Today, I found a new Pileated nest site at Riverbend Park here in Florida. I saw the male and female go in but did not see or hear anything regarding babies ( using binocs) - so maybe they are sitting on eggs still.
I am curious to know how skittish they are and how much camo I should be using to approach the nest ?? - and any other experienced info I should know ?

Beautiful capture! Lots of experience and hard work to produce a result this good - I am profoundly envious.

Used to have a couple that would visit the backyard from time to time, they did not seem so skittish but they never seemed to stay long either.

There are some Starlings that have taken over a Redbellied nest that I would like to use a small caliber on !
